Sophie Lark is here to recap The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden with Katee! We were obsessed with the fairytale vibes and Russian mythology...and Jenny might've been kind of obsessed with trying to make the villain into the love interest.

Other things we're obsessed with? Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark, which you can get right now through Bonkers Book Club! It's enemies to lovers where they're forced to marry and when she finds out he's allergic to strawberries, she deliberately eats them before the wedding so their kiss is...memorable. Also...attempted drowning as a love language!

Our Kickstarter is only running for a few more weeks and that's your only chance to get the special editions and art from the Peculiar Tastes series--or just get the ebooks way ahead of their public release! Check it out HERE!

Or if you're looking for more Bonkers in your life, you can join the Temple of Defiant Joy! Anyone who joins (at any tier) by 8/11 will get a set of six stickers with the artwork from our Kickstarter. The stickers won't be available anywhere else!

We'll be back next week with Book 4 from the Fertile in my Ex-Boyfriend's Dungeon series! Books 2 and 3 are available as bonus episodes in the Temple!

Mentioned in this episode:

September in the Temple!
